I can't chase the thought away!!

I give serious serious points to Larry Brown for the timeout, class act, but I can't help thinking, there were 15 frickin seconds on the clock, and more than that when Tay hugged Reggie, which honestly really started my crying fit, BUT ANYWAY--------

I can't help but feel there was soooo much time come on, there has been an 8 points in 8.9 seconds, it would have been the perfect very last Reggie moment.

I do understand that the ending was really perfect, it gave my hero the perfect send off and respect he deserved, but I can't help but grasp for that little piece of hope, which really was visible. Screw Reggie's age, he can run with Rip all night, he's in better shape than most youngens.

Basically, the end of Reggie's career, if he would have attempted to win the game and failed, would not be the same; it would not be as tear jerking and special to us as it was, but I can't help but have the thoughts I have.

Re: I can't chase the thought away!!

Yeah I guess that's true but really, do you think that it would ever be possible that he scored 25 points in the fourth quarter once, despite all that pesky defense?that this man scored 8 points in 8.9 seconds? that this man hit the game extending shot at 38 years old more than 40 ft away? that this man from the unrecognized Indiana Pacers would break the all-time 3pt. FGM record? See it's easy to say that there was alot going against him, but there has been plenty more and he has suceeded, I'm just saying that I believe there was a total chance.

Re: I can't chase the thought away!!

i think this falls under that Hope thread i started...we have such a desire to have hope and simply do not want to have it totally taken away from us....yes...we have come to expect the unexpected from reggie....and thats why we love him the way we do....but when reggie missed that last 3....i think even reggie gave up the Hope....and thats probably the most telling of all...

Re: I can't chase the thought away!!

I know what you mean though. I think every Pacer fan has a little hope that the Pacers will win any game as long as Reggie Miller is in the game. We have seen it happen so many times before and believed it could happen before.
